As a professional association, we're committed to delivering a consistently high standard of service, giving you access to a range of benefits and the tools, CPD, guidance and resources you need throughout your career.  

Continuing to support our members in this way is dependent on our ability to respond to economic shifts and manage rising operating costs.

For the 2025 to 2026 financial year, we’ve made the difficult decision to increase our membership fees in line with inflation.

Doing so helps ensure the long-term sustainability and growth of our organisation, and allows us to continue the important work we undertake on your behalf; creating new opportunities, supporting your development, advocating and campaigning for the profession, delivering world-class research, maintaining standards and more.

We’re not increasing the costs of our additional subscriptions, including membership of our divisions, access to our CPD Hub and advertising on our BACP Therapist Directory.

New membership fees

The fee increase will take effect for members renewing from Tuesday 1 April 2025 and will be applied from the date your annual membership is renewed.

It represents an average annual increase of 3.0% across our membership categories.

You can see a full summary of the changes to each membership category on this page. Please read the information on our infographic and plain text document.  

Supporting our members financially

We understand some of you may be facing financial difficulty and we’ve support in place to help.

We offer lower fees to our student members and up to 50% discount for members who are unwaged, on low income or in receipt of state benefits or pension. 

All members also have the option to spread the cost of membership by paying via Direct Debit over a 10-month period, at no additional charge.  

Please get in touch with us to talk about any potential financial support or view our reduced fee policy for more information. 

Our commitment to you

Our priority is to make sure we’re giving you the very best quality of service as your membership association and to continue to improve the way we support you at every stage of your career.

It’s our privilege to work on behalf of you, your clients and for the wider profession, and we’d like to thank you for your continued membership.
